Find and Run Robot Has Fans
Find and run robot is really the best implementation of a quick run command line program I've come across and I'm sure I've tried most of them. I don't know if you've tried the others out there yourself but 'find and run robot' definitely beats them.. Find and run is just perfect - if I can think of anything that might improve it I'll let you know. Really love the ONE key shortcut key for it - genius. Really love not having to set it all up for what words that are relevant for which programs. Really love the context menu to open up folders for particular listed files.

Amit Patel's Red Blob Games and Game Programming Pages

Screenshot - 2_19_2014 , 7_19_06 PM_thumb001.png
DC member App103 found this fantastic collection of articles and links by Amit Patel on game Programming.

He discusses pathfinding, procedural world generation, AI coding, and a huge range of wonderful topics.  Very nicely organized and presented.

I’ve been helping people make games since 1990. I wrote games earlier in life, with Solar Realms Elite being the most well known, then worked on an environmental simulation game called BlobCity, then took a break for over a decade. The recent rise of indie, mobile, tablet, social, and web games have made me interested in game development again. My current passion is using interactivity on the web for learning, especially learning game algorithms. With modern web browsers, there’s no need for explanations to follow the formats used in magazines, technical papers, and books. We can combine learning by reading, learning by watching, and learning by doing.
